Part IV Composer

Outline of the Composer

The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of 8
parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS and ACCOMP1–5 parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.
Rhythm components which can be stored
Different INTRO 1, 2, VARIATION 1 to 4, FILL IN
1, 2 patterns can be created for each MEMORY
(A, B, C).
• Each VARIATION is made of a PATTERN, FILL 1 and
FILL 2.
• A Maj (major) and Min (minor) pattern is available for
each of the INTRO and ENDING 1 and 2.

Memory capacity
Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of
notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER
memories is about 13,000. The remaining mem-
ory available for recording is shown on the
recording display as a percentage (%).
• When "Memory full!" appears on the display no more data
can be stored in the COMPOSER.
MEMORY
Because the contents of the MEMORY are
erased after the power is turned off, you should
save the data on disks if you wish to keep it.
